If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. In case of skin contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. In case of eye contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately. In case of ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Inhalation: None. Ingestions: Harmful if ingested. Skin contact: None. Eye contact: Causes serious eye damage. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: None. SECTION 5. FIRE -FIGHTING MEASURE Extinguisher media: Suitable extinguisher media: SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemical powder, CO2, alcohol foam or water spray, LARGE FIRE: Use alcohol foam, water spray or fog. Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known. Special hazards arising from the mixture: None known. Advice for fire-fighters: Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: For non-emergency personnel: Splash goggles, gloves. For emergency responders: Splash goggles, gloves.

4 Page 4 of 9 Environmental precautions: Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapours, if any. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Methods for containment and cleaning up: For small spills Contain spilled material if possible. Collect in suitable and properly labelled containers. Absorb with materials such as: sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth. For large spills Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in well labelled container for disposal according to local regulations. Reference to other sections: See section 7 for information on safe handling. See section 8 for information on personal protection equipment. See section 13 for information on disposal. Additional information: SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Protective measures: Observe directions on label and instructions for use. Advice on general occupational hygiene: Do not eat drink or smoke when handling this product. Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities: Store product in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Specific end uses: Use as directed. Use original container. SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control parameters: Occupational exposure limits (OEL): None Biological exposure indices (BEI): None Additional exposure limits under the conditions of use: None

5 Exposure control: Page 5 of 9 Appropriate engineering controls: Not required under normal use. Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particles/mist which could cause eye discomfort, wear chemical goggles. Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include Nitrile/butadiene rubber, Polyethylene, Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate, Polyvinyl alcohol, Polyvinyl chloride. Body protection: A lab coat or dust coat is required when handling this product Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection is required when ventilation is inadequate or discomfort is experienced; use an approved air-purifying respirator. Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. Environmental exposure controls: Prevent product from entry into sewers and water courses. SECTION 9.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Reactivity: The product is stable under normal conditions. Chemical stability: Stable under normal storage conditions for 2 years. Possibility of hazardous reactions: Thermal decomposition can lead to the escape of irritating gases and vapours (oxides of nitrogen). Decontamination with reducing agents or strong acids can cause formation of toxic gases (oxides of nitrogen). It can enhance combustion of other substances. Conditions to avoid: Avoid high temperatures and temperatures < -10 o C. Incompatible materials: May be corrosive to some metals, keep away from strong acids, oxidising and reducing agents and combustible materials. Hazardous decomposition products: On heating/burning release of toxic and corrosive nitrous gases/vapours.
